Frank Rich Wrecks Rekers In New York Times

Of all wars, only culture wars offer the hope of sheer, unadulterated hilarity. Sex and hypocrisy were staples of farce long before America became a nation, and they never go out of style. Just listen to the roaring audience at the new hit Broadway revival of the perennial “La Cage aux Folles,” where a family-values politician gets his comeuppance in drag. Or check out the real-life closet case of George Rekers, who has been fodder for late-night television comics all month.

There is a certain irony that one of the stars of the current “La Cage” happens to be Kelsey Grammer, who recently announced the launching of The RightNetwork, a new television network with ties to the Tea Party movement.

Just what we need, another Pox news station.
‘The Real News’, which is currently only on the internet (Independent World Television) i.e. no commercial sponsors is *supposed* to be on tv eventually. I wish they would hurry up. It’s one of the few places where you can get the truth.http://therealnews.com/t2/
